Commission a Custom Painting

Thank you for your interest in commissioning a custom painting! Whether you’re looking for a meaningful portrait, a beloved pet, or a favorite botanical specimen, I’d love to hear about your idea.

I specialize in custom paintings of:

• People and family portraits

• Pet portraits

• Botanical subjects, including collector and specialty plants

Commissions are available in watercolor, acrylic, or oil, in a realistic to realistic/stylized style with an emphasis on vibrant color and expressive detail.

Pricing

Every commission is unique, so pricing depends on the size of the artwork, the complexity of the subject, the number of subjects included, and the chosen medium.

As a general guide:

• 12 × 16 botanical portrait (watercolor): starting around $450

• 12 × 16 single-person portrait (watercolor): starting around $550

Acrylic and oil paintings of the same size generally start at approximately $300 more than the watercolor pricing shown above.

Larger sizes, multiple subjects, and more detailed compositions will increase the price. Once I review your project, I’ll provide a personalized quote before any work begins.

Reference PHOTOS

The quality of the finished painting depends heavily on the quality of the reference photo. Please submit the highest-resolution images you have. Sharp, well-lit photos with clear details produce the best results. Blurry, dark, heavily filtered, or low-resolution images may not provide enough information for an accurate painting.

If you’re unsure whether your photos are suitable, feel free to include them with your inquiry, and I’ll let you know.

Timeline

Commission turnaround time is typically up to 3 months, depending on my current workload and the complexity of the project. If you have a specific deadline, please mention it in your inquiry, and I’ll let you know if I can accommodate it.
